Harmony grits her teeth, pondering the horrors that thing could do from in there, as the girl's eyes slip closed.
"Terry?" No response. "Teresa?" Nothing. Faint snoring sounds come from the girl as she shifts her knee, curling slightly on the ground.
"I think she found a keeper." Giggles Melanie from beside her. A sharp look fixed the girl, but she completely ignored it.
For a moment she pondered if she should take Terry to the Sanctum, but she needed to read up on this, and... much to her annoyance, she had to admit the creature truly hadn't harmed her. Yet. What ever 'Keith' was it was certainly very different from the others she'd encountered.
"Come on girl, lets get you tucked in a bed huh?" Melanie said, going over to her and crouching down.
"Melanie!" Harmony gasped, reaching forwards, instinctively worried the beast inside Terry was going to reach out and grab her, possibly drag her inside Terry too! For some reason the shiver she gave at that thought was not entirely terror. Was it affecting her emotions too? She had to get a grip!
"Hey, she's cold. I'm taking her back to her room. Her and her boyfriend need some alone time." She giggled and hefted Terry up with a little struggle. Those training sessions certainly had helped, but Melanie was still not quite as strong as Terry or Ophelia.
Harmony glanced down, scowling as Melanie settled the unconscious girl in her arms, gently cradling her head on her left elbow, then set off to the dorm block. Though she wanted to, Harmony decided not to stop her. She needed to read up some more, and hopefully the beast was tired enough from it's... exploits, that it would remain unconscious for a while.
"Fine." She said slowly. "Do so, then try and find Ophelia and return to the Sanctum. I'll see to trying to ward Teresa's room against the beast leaving. Just in case." If she could find that spell. It wasn't one she had much luck with in the past. She'd need the books to ensure it went right.
"Don't let her hear you call him that." Melanie chided as she carted her sister-in-arms away.
Harmony sighed. This was going to be a long night.
***
A couple of times Keith roused halfway from sleep, feeling himself bouncing along slightly, an odd movement that was rather comforting, the soft, warm, squeezing walls around him, drifting him back to sleep each time. He briefly woke again as he felt himself drop a little and settle, sounds of fabric rustling outside. There was a brief 'smeck' of a kiss, then a soft pat.
"You take care of Terry, other wise I'll have to beat your ass!" a whispered voice said, then he drifted back to sleep again.
***
Much later he felt a churning squeezing, gently caressed awake, his body a confused mess, groaning and gurgling coming from all around him. It felt... nice, warm, accepting. Home.
He hadn't felt this welcome in a very long time. Just the nice silky sensations against him every where, the gentle pressure, the slight spasms, it all felt... right. He could feel himself stretching out, moving further inside, just relaxing with a contented feeling.
As he relaxed he tried to work out why he felt so damned good, but it was fuzzy. Slowly he woke up further, gradually getting with it, and... remembered!
With a jerk his body shook. His massively changed body! His tentacular mass! He shuddered at the recollection and pushed instinctively, feeling something tight jamming against a tentacle.
